788 Pugilistic World (2/2)
During the battle at Divine Armament Mountain Villa, Elder Wan and Venerable Pine Crane were inadvertently torn up by the Saber Qi. If he had intended to murder all of them, he would not have spared those martial artists outside the battlefield.
Therefore, he had at most killed unintentionally rather than murdered deliberately.
But of course, he could not confront them and make the correction right now.
That Kong family, however, was very annoying!
The Kong family was one of the renowned families in the Pugilistic World. The Righteousness Ruler possessed by the family ranked seventh among all the Divine Armaments. The Righteousness Formulation was also the best-known heaven-grade Divine Art of the Orthodox Dao. This large family with a large fortune shouldered the responsibility of maintaining righteousness in the Pugilistic World.
The previous owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber had rampaged through the Pugilistic World, and it was the head of that generation's Kong family who had wielded the Divine Armament and defeated him. Even the Blood Imbibing Saber was damaged in the battle and sealed until recently.
It was commonplace for the grudges of one generation to be passed down to the next.
Other reasons aside, every martial artist believed that when the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber matured, he would absolutely take his revenge on the Kong family's family head and repair his reputation.
Since the conflict was inevitable, any normal person would want to take action first.
Those who acted tolerant and gave the youth a few years to seek revenge would typically end up with a miserable death.
Furthermore, the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber was of the Demon Dao!
Why would they need to follow the rules in the Pugilistic World when dealing with the Demon Dao? They would be promoting righteousness even if they besieged him!
The more venerable and orthodox a sect was, the better it was at this kind of reasoning.
”Speaking of which, every generation of the Six Dao Demon Sect is weaker than the previous, unlike the martial arts holy grounds of our Orthodox Dao!” A young swordsman seemed drunk, his cheeks flushed with wine. ”The Heaven Grudge Marquis was an expert in the Demon Sect, but it's laughable that he was killed by a brat. Some day, I—Flying Rainbow Sword Lin Guanzhong—will enforce heaven's will. I'll become famous by killing a few experts of the Demon Dao and annihilating the entire Demon Sect!”
Poof!
As soon as he ended his sentence, blood splashed from his mouth and his tongue dropped to the floor.
”Ah!”
After a moment of absolute silence, a female martial artist's shriek was heard.
She was pale and trembling, no longer as chivalrous as before.
Such a fast sword! The experienced martial artists felt scared witnessing this. There's probably a Demon Dao expert in this building. Sigh… That young man was too reckless. Even the top martial artists of the holy grounds dare not say that they could annihilate the Demon Sect!
The commotion spread quickly. The young man rolled on the ground and screamed incoherently.
Some customers were afraid of getting into trouble and went downstairs; others stayed at a distance, waiting excitedly to see what would happen next.
Before long, a group of guards hurried in.
After all, the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building was a powerful force in the Pugilistic World. It was humiliating that a customer was hurt in their territory, and they would surely attempt to put things right.
”Come, bring this man to the clinic for treatment!”
The leader of the guards was an old man holding the double iron spheres. He was strong and hefty, and his long beard made him look like an enraged lion.
”It's Iron Lion Ao Zhan! He's a third-grade master!”
The eyes of the onlookers glistened. ”This is getting interesting!”
Ao Zhan looked around and frowned. He cupped his fists and greeted the surrounding customers. ”That person was talking nonsense and should be taught a lesson. But since you dared to do such a thing in the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building, do you dare tell us who you are?”
”If we weren't in the Golden Breeze Drizzle Building, he would have lost more than his tongue!” A reply was heard at the table beside Fang Yuan.
A young man in black occupied the table, and he had a red sword scar between his eyebrows. He sat boldly and drank as if there was no one else in the room. ”He dared to declare that he could annihilate our Demon Sect. What audacity!”
”Seven Stars Sword? You're the Demon Sect's new star, Gu Qixing?”
Ao Zhan felt a headache when he saw the sword beside the youth's hand, particularly the seven pearls attached to the sheath.
He had hoped that what happened earlier had been done by an individual demon and that the demon immediately ran away afterward. In that case, he could just say some harsh words and get over it.
He was not afraid of experienced martial artists, but he did not want to encounter this kind of ruthless and headstrong youth.
If that headstrong youth had a powerful backer, it would be a disaster.
”So he's Gu Qixing!”
After his identity was revealed, the room became noisy. ”He was the most prominent young man in the Demon Sect before the owner of the Blood Imbibing Saber. Since his debut, he has challenged many world-renowned swordsmen and remains undefeated! He's extremely ruthless. Even the Seven Swordsmen of Qilian Mountain and the Four Allies of Heaven Mountain were all killed by him!”
